    My daughter received this for an early Christmas present. She wore them vacuuming and said they worked great! She couldn’t hear anything but the music in her ears.

    I use it for tv listening so I am not looking for headphones of audiophile quality, just clear dialogue. Sound quality is great so it meets my needs. A little pricy so I hope the plastic holds up and does not start breaking like my last pair (a different brand).

    If you are having second thoughts about buying these headphones then you need to read this review. Go ahead and buy it! I cross shopped it against its Bose and Apple counterparts, It's definitely the winner due to its form, sound quality and weight. It just happens to be the most beautiful of all the 3 too but aesthetics can be a bit subjective.
